Annabels Lament by Paul Shapera
Annabels Lament
[Intro] Bb F Eb
Gm F Eb
Bb F
Ghosts of dreams, ghosts of memory
Eb
That will not leave or lay in quiet
Gm F
Ghosts that cry about the life
Eb
You let go by
Bb F
Ghosts of pasts of little girls who
Eb
Learned their math, grasped their facts
Gm F
Tried their best to reach success
Eb
Just as they were asked
Bb F
The girl learns to hide, deep inside
Eb
Of fractions and facts and worlds of math
Gm F
A long lonely land she can understand
Eb
Annabelle in Numberland
Bb
You could have been my angel
F Eb
Been my angel, been my angel and been with me
Gm
Could have been my angel
F Eb
Been my angel, been my angel and rescued me
[Interlude] Bb F Eb
Gm F Eb
Bb F
Ghosts of love you never knew, you
Eb
Just construed like well penned plays
Gm F
Ghosts of scenes, embraces, things
Eb
You only knew in dreamt up days
Bb F
Ghosts of frowns for little girls when
Eb
Friends came round to waste her time
Gm F
Ghosts of creeds, rebukes received
Eb
Children are not what achievers need
Bb F
Fractions and maths, sweet companions,
Eb
Equations and facts who always stand
Gm F
By as you go your road alone
Eb
Annabelle in Numberland
Bb
You could have been my angel
F Eb
Been my angel, been my angel and been with me
Gm
Could have been my angel
F Eb
Been my angel, been my angel and rescued me
[Interlude] Bb F Eb
Gm F Eb
Bb F
Ghosts of me, ghosts of who
Eb
I could be and been with you
Gm F
Ghosts of dreams, of who you thought
Eb
You'd one day be when you grew up
Bb F
Ghosts of breath, of little girls
Eb
Who promised, stressed they'd be their best
Gm F
Ghosts of days that fade away
Eb
As failure holds your hand til Death
Bb F
And deep in the place you escape where
Eb
Theorems and thoughts your hopes and plans
Gm F
All are derailed and then you failed them
Eb
Annabelle in Numberland
Bb F
Liquids and labs, fractions and facts,
Eb
Is all you had, all that you understand
Gm F
And as you age, all that remains with
Eb
Annabelle in Numberland
Bb
You could have been my angel
F Eb
Been my angel, been my angel and been with me
Gm
You could have been my angel
F Eb
My angel, been my angel and rescued me
Bb F
My angel, my angel
Eb
My angel and been with me
Gm F Eb
My angel, my angel
